How Do Water Filtration Systems Work?

There are many types of water filtration systems, but they all operate on the same basic principle. Water enters the system, and the filter removes impurities, sediment, and chemicals, leaving only clean water that is safe to drink. A whole-home water filtration system is installed at the main water line to filter all the water that enters your home. This is the best way to ensure that all the water you use for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and bathing is clean and safe for your family.

Some of the impurities that can be removed by a water filtration system include:

• Chlorine
• Lead
• Mercury
• Copper
• Sediment
• Iron
• and more

Types of Water Filtration Systems

There are many types of water filtration systems available for your home. The best water filtration system for you will depend on your needs, your budget, and the type of contaminants in your water. Our experienced plumbers can help you find the right water filtration system for your home.

Some of the most common types of water filtration systems include:

• Activated carbon filters: These filters are made from carbon that has been treated with oxygen. The activated carbon attracts and absorbs impurities in the water, such as chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Carbon filters need to be changed regularly to be effective.
• Reverse osmosis systems: These systems use a semipermeable membrane to remove impurities from the water, such as lead, mercury, copper, and other heavy metals. Reverse osmosis systems also remove bacteria and viruses. They are usually installed under the sink and require professional installation and maintenance.
• Water softeners: These systems remove minerals from the water, such as calcium and magnesium, which cause hard water. Water softeners use a process called ion exchange to remove the minerals and replace them with sodium or potassium. Water softeners help prevent scale buildup on plumbing fixtures, appliances, and your skin.
• Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems: These systems use UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the water. UV disinfection systems are usually installed at the main water line and require professional installation and maintenance.
• Water distillers: These systems heat the water to create steam, which is then condensed back into water. Water distillers remove impurities, such as bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals, from the water. They are usually installed under the sink and require professional installation and maintenance.
• Water softeners: These systems remove minerals from the water, such as calcium and magnesium, which cause hard water. Water softeners use a process called ion exchange to remove the minerals and replace them with sodium or potassium. Water softeners help prevent scale buildup on plumbing fixtures, appliances, and your skin.
• There are many other types of water filtration systems available, including activated alumina filters, ceramic filters, and more. The best water filtration system for you will depend on your needs, your budget, and the type of contaminants in your water.
